Navarro dazzles in first game with Stags

Renzo Navarro is glad to be back in his old stomping grounds in San Sebastian, this time in the senior’s division.

“I’m really comfortable,” he said after playing his first NCAA game with the Golden Stags.

“Coach Egay (Macaraya) told me that I have the freedom to show what my game is. I have a license to do what I can to help the team. There’s no pressure at all.”

Transferring back to Recto after a short-lived stint in La Salle, the diminutive Navarro dazzled in his first game for San Sebastian, finishing with 12 points, seven in the payoff period, to go with seven assists.

However, his stellar showing came with a defeat as defending champion San Beda downed San Sebastian, 76-67, on Saturday.

Navarro surrendered that though the Golden Stags had a legitimate chance to score the upset, the Red Lions’ depth got the better of them in the end.
